An Unforgettable Evening in Lisbon

We had an amazing evening with Andrè, who went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable experience. He is so knowledgeable, kind, interesting, and fun! We learned a lot about Portuguese history and culture, all while enjoying delicious bites from one of Andre’s favorite local restaurants. We enjoyed traditional sausage cooked at the table, gorgeous olives and cheeses, breads, and other classic, regional delicacies. We drank local wine, loved dining on the beautiful patio and listening to traditional singing from fellow patrons, and generally felt wrapped in the joyful heart and soul of Portugal. Sharing an evening with André was one of the highlights of our entire trip. He accepted our last-minute booking, and upon learning I needed to eat gluten free (a tall order in Portugal), he went all the way across town to the one gluten-free bakery to ensure that I, too, could enjoy a traditional Portuguese dessert—a flaky pastry filled with custard. It was so thoughtful of him and emblematic of the type of care he puts into every guest’s experience. Please book your trip with André—he is an outstanding guide and we give him our highest recommendation!

Great experience. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time with David. He took us to several spots where the food and wine were excellent. He also shared his extensive knowledge of the city and history with us along the way, as well as a few "don't bother VS definitely check it out" tourist recommendations. He was also willing to tailor the tour to meet our dietary restrictions, which was very much appreciated. Definitely would recommend WithLocals and especially David to fellow travelers.

David was a great guide, easy-going and enjoyable to chat with! My fiancé and I booked the 2.5 hour bites and drinks tour and we loved each authentic stop we made. David walked us through different areas and talked along the way giving us interesting information! He was very kind and willing to answer any questions we had about how to best spend our time while in Portugal. Thank you, David!
